russia started the recovery process as a twenty year old shoe a strong meteorite blasting leaves twelve hundred people injured thousands a windows shattered and wreaks havoc in the country's nuclear. the delay in chuck hagel a phony u.s. defense secretary confirmation which met an unprecedented republican opposition is seen as a push forward shifting his antiwar hawkish gates. i am tired of being watched on t.v. c.c.t.v. activists in germany team up and take their funk against public surveillance into their own hands by destroying as many street cameras as

a possible. international and domestic news live from moscow this is our she was me you lash follower thanks for joining us. more than twelve hundred people injured and tens of millions of dollars worth of damage that's how russia's year old is entering its first day of recovering from a devastating michelle wide explosion. in office at the epicenter and brings us the details. thankfully the night passed quietly and without any incidents in chile i've insistence there were fears that more meteors were going to hit the area nothing of the kind happened but the consequences of friday's meteor are still quite a handful and the main challenge for now is to repair the damage especially all the

broken windows in the home since we are in the year also it's not exactly summer here and overnight temperatures did drop a wee below zero although authorities said that they've already managed to restore and repair around one third of the damage but it's not only about shattered glass a lot of old buildings were damaged as well like this factory there behind me where parts of the wall and roof just collapsed which is remarkable since we're around one hundred kilometers which is there are sixty miles away from where the media or fell on friday the explosion was so powerful nasa says it was equal to around twenty new cars dropped on hiroshima thankfully these explosions caused by the media were not accompanied by lethal radioactivity for more what happened here on friday here's this report it wasn't a bird in the plane or superman but something much wouter right faster than many times of war terrifying speed bright like him shiny across the sky you know

blinding brighter than the sun it was around nine am when the skies were suddenly lit up by a media were flying over children's breaking into three parts leaving a striking trail of smoke before vanishing just minutes later the city and the surrounding areas were the literally rocked by a series of massive explosion. and. i immediately called one of my teammates who lives in my building and i you know i couldn't get through to him by phone in work so i was a little bit scared at that point so powerful it damaged buildings and shattered windows all across the city of dallas the bottom of your family i was told that it plain crashed right into a building then we were told that a wall has been partly disloyal and metal structures inside of a band by the blast wave it was a very scary. but. many were able to film the unearthly tsunami and on a leader flooding the web with footage as rumors spread of what it might have been

a stricken airplane a satellite that orbits even the beginning of the end of the world and our t.v. documentary crew that was working in the area suddenly found themselves at the center of events to put up that they saw a huge tail in the sky like from an airplane and then there was a bright fire and an explosion but the feeling was like there are. thoughts of military jets may have crashed or that it was some manmade disaster it was a relief to find out it was a natural phenomena anybody except for over twelve hundred people were injured including over two hundred children mostly for pieces of shattered glass that one of the girls ran out to take pictures yes. and she was thrown in by the wave that came after this the flash and then we. my ears got blocked and the whole room you get got filled with dust just like like

a fog it's estimated the media as we need to varied from ten to forty tons and its speed of around twenty miles per second it gave it a huge amount of energy and made it very difficult to detect in advance that there are telescopes and networks operated by nasa in the u.s. and what's cosmos and russia and the european space agency others that are out there trying to detect the track asteroids but honestly there's a lot of there's hundreds of thousands and their biggest focus is on the really large ones ones that are hundreds of meters in diameter or kilometers in diameter that could potentially you know due to the os what happened to the dinosaurs thankfully nobody was killed this time it was even. just real facilities including several nuclear sites located in the region. and lawrence maxwell kraus from the school on earth. of us and space exploration says this was a scientifically precious event meteors and asteroids are common many of them come

from the outer part of our solar system perturbations from the planet jupiter and other planets there's a huge. store of of comets asteroids out outside the orbits of jupiter and outside in fact the outer solar system some of them periodically get disturbed by the gravity of the inner planets and get sent inwards some of them are big balls of ice and become comets others are big balls of rock and the impact on mars and the earth and the moon and what's fascinating is actually you could if you can collect some of this material some of it is primordial if we actually detect it and we can we can get it right after it falls we can actually measure but you're all that hasn't been processed since the solar system formed four and have billion years ago so for scientists it's a fascinating event and i'm happy that people weren't killed by it but if some of that material can be recovered it will be incredibly interesting and important for scientists. to have some amazing photos of the exploding space rock as well as they

did examples of how powerful it was on a dot com so the headline for that as well as dates cottage and more comments from ex-pats. going on now more than a week of debates brainstorming and policy revision all will now be needed following an unprecedented vote which saw president obama's nominee for u.s. defense secretary of state and to get enough support from the republicans all the results not a complete defeat for chuck hagel the delay may give his opponents more time to further spoil his chances and many in the us believe this is what was supposed to happen to a country that was not pro-war enough he's going there to check on hostage details . those who blocked the vote on chuck hagel nomination this thursday no very well

that he will eventually be confirmed as defense secretary there are enough votes in the senate to confirm him but the stalling of the vote together with the humiliating treatment that the senators gave chuck hagel two weeks ago at his confirmation hearing this whole process is seen as a message all by itself those lawmakers showed that they could crush anyone who would allow themselves to dissent from washington's core foreign policy beliefs chuck hagel remarks at the confirmation hearing disappointed even his supporters during the hearing which to many seemed like an inclusive mr haygood had to backtrack on many of the statements he had made before including that war with iran should not be an option including his criticism of israel's actions and some other foreign policy views that he had expressed as a senator so throughout that long and exhausting hearing mr hague kept apologizing for much of the previous statements he had taken from previous positions he had taken and he bent backwards to show how quote unquote mainstream his views are in the senator's case kept accusing him of not being again quote unquote mainstream

enough to get the job chuck hagel swore to defend basically all of washington's foreign policy orthodoxies his confirmation process has been humiliating in many ways and it demonstrated the state of u.s. foreign policy of policy basically intolerant of an ill turn to do vision alternative claude having said all that the president's decision to nominate chuck hagel of course knowing the position chuck hagel had taken before was also seen as a message president obama had said previously that there is too much of your talk going on and maybe by nominating chuck hagel he wanted to play down because too many people here in washington are too eager to talk war just during the confirmation hearing the word war was mentioned one hundred twenty times the word iran one hundred eight times by comparison of ghana's than the war that the u.s. is fighting right now just twenty six mentions of course those are just words but they may very well show how eager many many in washington are to discuss new wars

without even having finished the old ones. and paul craig roberts assistant secretary of the u.s. treasury under president reagan frank says chuck hagel is bold he's not some global player as that's a line to him in trouble with the republican. she has. made a mistake some years ago when he said that he was an american senator not an israeli senator and this instant come up because in the in the last presidential election in the united states are of the israeli prime minister. supportive. bamma opponent of the peace process for the world and seated president of the united states and a very demeaning way. and so obama now is answering back to the israeli prime minister by appointing a u.s. senator who did a very very rare thing and asserted his independence. of the

israeli government. the u.s. library of congress is working hard and filing away every tweet ever send everywhere in a huge archive. they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do and i think storing our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop during the. coming up later lower half an instance steps out on the streets of new york to find out what people think about the government holding on to their online messages. to people in the near celebrate the anniversary of the uprising against gadhafi while the government fears a new one thousands of armed militias lined the streets of major cities despite activists assuring all rallies will remain peaceful. and i think his group needs a thrashing a major rally in berlin on saturday against what it sees as a massive expansion of c.c.t.v.

cameras in germany the movement opposition against the ever encroaching big brother turned from words to action long ago where they've become a notorious for trashing street cameras all across the country on of a takes a look at whether the group's message makes them different from ordinary vandals. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you whilst walking through the streets of the german capital there may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians on the rise and it's not as bad yet as in other countries for example in the u.k. very millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that increase has seen some berliners take quite drastic action and fight back against what they see as the invasion of their privacy the target for their fight the cameras themselves the phenomenon has even produced an online game cam over the rules are simple film yourself destroying c.c.t.v.

cameras posted online and point to rewarded for the amount of cameras smashed as well as bonus points for creativity although many privacy campaign is uneasy this more militants approach we're not a particular big fan of while and even if it's while it's against things that's a form of protest we do not support of the support the message. is contest will culminate in a protest ahead of the european police congress in berlin law enforcers fear the movement and its methods will only rise in popularity and public damage i don't think it's it's a group that is committing these crimes i think these are some people from the left wing political corner they want others to compete with them to destroy cameras and what about allegations that the rise in c.c.t.v.

coverage was turning berlin into an all well state no i don't think so i think we have a strict law that only personal belongings or the personal. ground you own can be protected by a camera you're not allowed to point the camera at a public street and so i don't think there's. big brother watching everybody or germany does. some very strict laws when it comes to personal image rights even global giants like google of how to censor the faces of anyone snapped on this street view service the advancements of things like smartphones the amount of pictures taken uploaded to the web every day is sure to make it even more difficult for those who prefer to keep their anonymity the authorities deny that big brother is watching you in berlin however as the amount of c.c.t.v. in the city goes up it becomes increasingly difficult not to get caught on camera

peter all over r.t. . and being caught on camera is precisely what happened to a group of security guards the man suspected of having nazi links used to abusing thousands of foreign workers across germany details for you on r.t. on r.t. dot com. and america is now known as the land of free but online you have the story of one man who doesn't seem to cherish his freedom as much as others after he robbed a bank just to get santa back to. attend mostly peaceful celebration has begun a need there as the country marks two years since the start of the uprising that ousted him and mccarthy massive rallies were held in two major cities tripoli and been guarded with flag waving crowds marching through the streets a bomb exploded outside a benghazi police station causing no injuries authorities said it was the work of criminals not political activists protest as are planning to hammers against the

current regime though they can name they will be peaceful so there's fear violence may break out thousands of police and militia are in the street and there have been reports of nato forces arriving in tripoli two years after the initial uprising the government is still struggling to keep armed groups under control as well as ease separatist moves in the east and south of the country and they are succeeding as political analyst dr abraham a lot. what we have seen over the last two years in libya is that this integration of a new form of son throw control paving the way for the fragmentation of the country into three states at the same time the lawlessness in the country there's an outgrowth of fundamentalism of the chrome on the outside that has spilled over and somali as we have seen over the last couple of months a little bit. more than two months and at the same time we have this but sort of.

strife breaking out between the front militias and the country so yes a lot has changed but not for the better. now the formula sandra's called who killed for committed suicide in his last fight but why it's from a colleague's going to catch him in the last place the court opinion on this story coming up. on the thames to study global economic troubles being made at the g. twenty gathering up financial had pain moscow with the currency will was weighing heavy on that mind you so much more after a short break. well the. science technology innovation all the lives developments around russia

we've got the future covered. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you. are welcome is a big. place . more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day.

this is the welcome back that's good enough to delve into how to deal with the prospect of currency wars but as you have big g. twenty finance leaders a still to agree on be sure which is dragging the world's markets into turmoil because the ring is taking place in the russian capital as the country gears up for a broader summit later this year is this accountant or has been following the talks hey moscow are. a lot of conflicting statements have been said about this talk of the impending looming currency war which has led some folks some market watchers to be quite confused as to what we'll actually see coming out of this g. twenty talks here in moscow now at the center of the whole controversy and crisis is japan it's doing x. aggressive monetary and fiscal policies and has seen a weakening of the and so what this has resulted in is essentially a clash between the countries very little consensus we did hear from a russian finance minister on those who has said that this is certainly an

important issue that of currencies that is very much on the table but at the very same time we've seen other world leaders come up and say that you know what currency wars aren't really a threat they're trying to calm down the market to some have even questioned whether japan's actions constitute as a manipulation of the currency basically when a country is in the dire fiscal situation such as of course as we all know many countries are today like japan for instance is one option that a country has is to devalue its currency so making something like this a twenty dollar bill worth less you can do that by a variety of means for example me printing cash because why would you want to do that when your currency is worth less if your manufactured goods are cheaper on the market and that gives you a temporary boost in the economy which could be pretty critical in tough times like this now what we've actually seen the fear here is that when a country does that your trading partner strike back they say hey we're going to

lower the value of our currency and that sets off a currency war such as the one that we saw in the one nine hundred thirty s. which has led to the great depression now japan insists that it is simply trying to stimulate as kwame it's not doing anything to prompt a full scale currency war of course no country here wants to see that but the reason that we're seeing so much disagreement and so little consensus among the countries is that you know what for example the united states policy isn't all different that. since the fed in the u.s. has been printing money like crazy so these developed countries don't really see any incentive in isolating japan in trying to really squeeze down of this currency manipulation issue because they don't want to mess around with their economies essentially so that is really the crux of the issue. and now for some other international news stories and brief in egypt police have clashed with protesters the world planting that president mohamed morsi demonstrators hold stones and firebombs before being dispersed with tear gas they key is the government of trying

to tighten its grip on power and using violence to clamp down on the opposition more than seventy people have been killed in a protest against the government in recent weeks. a firebrand cleric to hear our country has held a massive rally against political corruption in north east pakistan citizen of both canada and pakistan qadri launched a petition to reform the national election commission a move rejected by the supreme court that has organized three more major rallies for the coming week in the build up to the country's general election express dismay. autopsy results have shown christopher dorner the former los angeles police officer who killed four including two of his colleagues committed suicide during a final shootout with sheriff's deputies the cabin he was barricaded and called fire during the fight and dorner shot himself and john this to mark's blumenthal believes the officer never intended to capture alive in the first place.

audio transmissions that i was listening to clearly indicate that they planned to burn him alive or as they said. deploy the burner or it's the audio transmissions of these scanners also show that they carefully manage the fire to ensure that it completely consumed the cabin use it during the base and abstracting in motion only and not the fashion in were hell bent on revenge and this was clearly shown in not just the police scanner transmissions but in an open transmission that was broadcast on channel nine during the standoff in which to think deputies were overheard screaming let's burn this and that for their own nieves they're referring to dorner the suspect. there are now close to two hundred billion tweets stored in databases at the library of congress in the us the government says it will stick a price not shop of line from the country seen through online messages but some citizens that can send it just one more invasion of privacy in no way how often as

it takes to the streets of new york to find out of all people that think about the project. the library of congress announced that it's storing our tweet is this just another method of surveillance or is it a way of archiving the times this week let's talk about that did you know that our government is starting to store all of our tweets they're archiving them in the library of congress not surprised you're not surprised by that now why not they're quite everything are you ok with that no absolutely not. so do we do about it you know i don't know because they're doing a lot of other stuff that they should be doing like killing people across the world but you know there's only so much we can do it i think so our tweets are kind of low on the priority but it's still a point that they should stop there and yeah it's just another way that they can

surveil us right yeah that's what i think how would you feel about your government storing all those tweets that scares me the soul of that because i mean like you could tweak things i mean if i try it for about three years now and i kind of member what we had back then if they can find out and just going to see what it was that's quite scary have you ever tweeted something that you might not want stored for all time usually a tweet recipes and food related things so i'd love it if a store. i mean those are a surprise to me though they strike your face book and they track everything you do a lot i mean they have the right so they stay along as the invention was private they're just doing this for your protection do you believe that you trust them to use it not as a way to surveil you or invade your privacy you know i believe they are mean what more can they do i mean if you put stuff on do that you don't want to be out there that you shouldn't do with where you should just keep your private stuff so you should influence with them all over the place whether or not you think the government storing our tweets is an invasion of privacy and the bottom line is you

better think twice before you tweet because you never know who might be listening. and in a few minutes stay with us found special reports on the graze on the european democracies . helicopters flying through the air day and night rounds of assault rifle ammo popping as the choppers buzz over the land now this unique form of hell of terror

is no longer restricted to those in vietnam in the middle east now houston miami residents of the good old usa can get in on the fun houston residents in terror called nine one one and scrambled for cover and even to schools put on lockdown as a military helicopters participate in a multi-agency training for ill in miami at night in the middle of downtown onlookers caught video on their telephones of blackhawk helicopters pumping loud blank on to the people below and maybe even as i speak a flexibly scheduled military drill could be happening in jasper county south carolina you know when i was a kid they tell us about how that year old soviet union would parade their tanks around how there were soldiers all over their oppressed country even in one thousand nine hundred four all made it a point to describe our military helicopters would eternally be overhead and a dystopian nightmare world now we're living the nightmare the united states is a huge country there's plenty of room on remote army bases to do your training also

last time i checked afghanistan evil which is don't look like downtown miami just who are you training the kill anyways knock off the terror trainings but that's just my opinion. every six months there was an e.u. summit and every six months that your team mates just a few days before. location and date were kept confidential the booking was made two years in advance. left behind was a clear message to the following you summit on the heads of governments a few days later. adopt the single market the monetary union infrastructure projects

a flexible labor market deregulation downsize public services austerity measures and so on and so on the whole your liberal agenda for them basically our picture got confirmed by an american scholar stepping into the topic maria green cowles i was interested and doing something about europe and something about the european union i started talking with some of the c.e.o.'s and in particular the corporate affairs managers of these firms to ask them what happened and everybody had a little piece of the story and then i met with keith richardson. keith and i would talk about different things and he would give me some ideas and i'd go and i'd talk with other individuals and then i'd come back with more questions and sometimes steve had the answers and sometimes he didn't and finally i believe it was on my seventh meeting with keith.
